Interesting site. I have an old GE refrig down in the basement that
came with the house and have no doubt that it's much older than 1980
(the oldest that the site above references GE appliances).

Anyone know a site that I can look up a serial number for a refrig
manufactured prior to 1980?

The serial number I'm trying to look up is: PW662378, Model # TA244WD

It's *old* but dang if that thing just keeps on running. Only problem
I have is having to manually defrost it about every 6-8 months but
besides that, it's been nearly indestructible. It's a weird, almost
pink color but what the hell, it keeps my beer and sodas cold. ;-)

Hi,

Most on-line records don't go back further than approx 1980 for a lot
of the appliance info on manufacturing dates. You will probably need
to call GE themselves to see if they can ID the manufacturing date.

There are some resoration companies that may also help...
